With today's needs for power we must cosider methane and methanol fuels produced from hemp emit 55% less air pollution than fossil fuel. With tobacco farms going out of buisness, hemp could easily rejuvenate the farmers economic footing.

As well as clothing millions of people around the world, hemp is used for many other things--rope, carpets, paper, cosmetics, caulking, fiberboard, insulation, mortar, paints, lubricants, weed supression, abrasive fluids, foods.... Hemp is the most balanced single source of essential fatty acids and is second only to soybeans in complete protein-but hemp's protein is more digestable than soy's.

With all these very valuable uses none can come close to the most important use of all, medicine.

"In srict medical terms marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume. For example, eating ten raw potatoes can result in a toxic response. By comparison, it is physicallt impossible to eat enough marijuana to induce death. Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man."
DEA chief Administrative Law Judge Francis Young, 1988

Today the 5000-year medical history of cannibas is nearly forgotten. The American Medical Association was one of the few organizations that raised a voice in oposition to the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937. In a 1990 survey, 44% of oncologists suggest that patients smoke marihuana for the relief of nausea induced by chemotherepy. This recommendation would be absurd if there were any truth in marihuana beind unsafe even for use under medical supervision. The time is here for physicians to acknowledge more openly that the present classification is scientifically, legally, and morally wrong.

Cannabis is used in cases of glaucoma, arthritis, asthma, chemotherapy, nerve disorders, AIDS, nausea and vomiting, depression, anxiety, muscle spasms, alcoholism, opiate withdrawl. Imagine the possibilities if cannabis could be legally used and developed in the United States.
